Photoprint has warped.; Printed on newsprint and attached to back of photoprint: "Flames pour through the roof of Guggenheim hall at Colorado State College of Education at Greeley in the second major fire on the campus in three years. Fire damage was estimated at $125,000 - more costly than the $100,000 blaze which struck Canford hall in 1949. No one was hurt in the Thursday fire and flames were confined to the top two floors. Dr. William R. Ross, C.S. C.E. president, said the building will be repaired in time for the summer term."; Title typed on back of photoprint.; R710091581
